MASH, Suicide is Painless (1970)
Key: :[G#m] (w: Johnny Mandell, Mike Altman)

INTRO: [G#m]

VERSE 1:
Through [C#m7] early morning [F#7] fog I see
[B] Visions of the [G#m7] things [G#7sus4] to [G#m7] be
The [C#m7] pains that are with-[F#7]-held for me
I [B] realize and [G#m7] I [G#7sus4] can [G#m7] see; [G#7] that

CHORUS:
[C#m7] Suicide is [F#7] painless, it [B] brings on many [G#m7] changes
And [Emaj7] I can [B/D#] take or [C#m] leave it [F#7] if I [G#m] please

VERSE 2:
The [C#m7] game of life is [F#7] hard to play
[B] I'm going to lose it [G#m7] anyway
The [C#m7] losing card I'll [F#7] someday lay
And [B] this is all I [G#m7] have [G#7sus4] to [G#m7] say [G#7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
The [C#m7] sword of time will [F#7] pierce our skins
[B] It doesn't hurt when [G#m7] it begins
But [C#m7] as it works its way on [F#7] in
The [B] pain grows stronger, [G#m7] watch [G#7sus4] it [G#m7] grin [G#7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
A [C#m7] brave man once re-[F#7]-quested me
[B] To answer questions [G#m7] that are key
Is [C#m7] it to be or not to [F#7] be?
And [B] I replied, "Oh [G#m7] why [G#7sus4] ask [G#m7] me?" [G#7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO:
And [Emaj7] you can [B/D#] do the [C#m7] same thing [F#7] if you [G#m] please
